Chelsea vs Crystal Palace preview
It’s a London derby and comes at a time when fixtures are crammed in.
But it’s a fixture that Chelsea certainly favour, having won the last 12 fixtures they’ve contested across all competitions.
They’ve only conceded one goal to Palace in the last five games in which they’ve contested, too.
The Blues’ home form has been solid recently too. Unbeaten in their last five which include the penalties win over Newcastle last week and that dramatic 4-4 draw with Man City.
Palace have only won once in their last five away games – at struggling Burnley – though their last trip was a great come-from-behind draw at Manchester City.

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace betting tips
Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals at 7/5 with Ladbrokes – CLAIM HERE
Yeah, it’s not a fixture renowned for goals for Crystal Palace.
But that performance in the second half at the Etihad showed how dangerous the Palace forward players can be.
On transition and on the counter, they can cause this Chelsea defence problems.
Not sure there’s any doubt that the hosts will score.
Second half over 2.5 goals at 29/10 with Ladbrokes – CLAIM HERE
Speaking of goals, it’s likely they’ll come in the second period.
Chelsea’s two goals against Sheffield United last time out at home in the league came after half time, while the two goals they lost to Everton previously also came after the break.
While Palace have scored in the second half in all of their last four away fixtures.
Levi Colwill to score anytime at 14/1 with Paddy Power – CLAIM HERE
Set pieces will always be crucial in the top flight.
And Colwill’s already scored earlier this month in the game at home to Palace’s rivals, Brighton.
There’s no other reason for this other than chasing the value….
